The Concubine of the Red Chamber

After Jia Lan slept in the Rongguo Mansion, she suddenly felt full of energy, and because Jia Shishi no longer had to pay his respects by himself, even though Jia She and Mrs. Zhang rushed back last night, Mrs. Zhang didn't have to pay her respects by herself. He also specifically told her to take a good rest, so it was rare for her to sleep until she woke up naturally. Jia Lan was in a good mood and let Chen's mother comb her hair, and listened to Hui'er talking about learning the rules in the palace.

"The peony was given by the master, Hui'er, remember not to stand out, the palace is no better than the house, if something happens, the lady may not be able to keep you!" Mother Chen knew Hui'er very well, so she repeatedly warned.

Hui'er nodded vigorously. She and Miss San have been in love since she was a child. The young lady even begged for a marriage for herself when the old lady was still alive. She has always been extraordinary and treats her like her own sister, so in her heart she has long regarded Miss as her own sister, so she naturally does not want to embarrass Miss.

After breakfast, Jia Lan went to see Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia Lan and said, "Mrs. Baolinghou is not in good health, but don't worry. Don't worry about it." Since Jia Hu fell ill, Mrs. Zhang has So she no longer had expectations for her mother-in-law, so this time Mrs. Baolinghou was sick, and she didn't let Jia Hu go, except that the old man Baolinghou was getting old and didn't want her newly recovered son to get sick again. It is because she is not very happy with Mrs. Baoling Hou who is devoted to Jia Shishi.

After Jia Lan agreed, she asked Zhang: "Thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law should pay more attention to her body. These days, she is busy with Hu'er, and sister-in-law seems to have reduced a lot. Hu'er is completely recovered now." ?”

"I'm fine. Mama Song has been helping me recuperate. It just so happened that Hu'er stabilized a lot on the day you left, and she kept talking about the delicious water and porridge that Third Aunt fed all day long. You want to get out of bed if you can't help it, your elder brother is very angry, but before my grandfather's friend Mr. Qingyuan came to Beijing to visit my daughter, my grandfather persuaded Mr. Qingyuan to stay in Beijing for a while, and Hu'er was at the age of enlightenment, so my grandfather picked him up " Mrs. Zhang said casually, to be honest, she was a little proud, even the father-in-law was very excited when he heard that Hu'er could be enlightened by Mr. Qingyuan himself.

Mr. Qingyuan, surnamed Su Ziyi, from Qingyuan, the number one scholar in high school 30 years ago, in the same year as Taifu Zhang, was once a genius who was once a rare talent in a hundred years by the judges of the holy ancestors in the palace examination. Zu then ordered the champion on the spot.However, just after the scientific examination was over, perhaps because he was too excited, Su Yi’s grandfather ended with a smile after being overjoyed, because Su Yi was the only grandson, and his grandmother also went there during the three years of filial piety. After filial piety, it coincided with the critical period of seizing the heir, Su Yi's biological father was also implicated and dismissed from office. Su Yi stayed in the Imperial Academy for two years, but his father died in depression. Father Shouxiao resigned from office and returned to his hometown. Although he has not been an official in these years, he has written countless books. The five disciples he taught are all great talents.Jia Lan has also read his "Geography Chronicles". The customs, geography and folk customs, historical minerals, medicine and witchcraft described in the book... let Jia Lan have a general understanding of this era.

"Mr. Qingyuan is a great talent. If you are taught by Mr. Qingyuan, Hu'er will become a great talent!" Although Jia Hu is young, Zhang's teaching is very good. According to the teachings, he will never become a playboy like Jia Lian in the book who is greedy and indulgent. To be honest, as long as Zhang is alive, Jia Lan believes that even Jia Lian will not end in the book.

Mrs. Zhang was a little proud, but she still said: "I don't know if Mr. Qingyuan can take a fancy to Hu'er. Hu'er has always been spoiled, so I'm afraid Mr. Qingyuan will not like him." What Mrs. Zhang didn't say was that Jia Daishan originally wanted Jia Zheng to pay a visit to Qingyuan Sir, it is best to learn from a teacher, but Mrs. Zhang has long been prepared to have someone tell Jia Shishi that although Su Yi is a great talent, it was because he couldn't get along in the officialdom... Naturally, Mrs. Jia didn't want his son to worship like this If someone is a teacher, he can shirk it, which finally caused Jia Zheng to fail to meet Su Yi himself.In fact, Mrs. Zhang had some opinions on Jia Daishan because of this incident. Jia Zheng was at the age of getting married, so what kind of teacher would he go to worship at this age?Isn't it dragging Huer back?

Jia Lan heard from Chen's mother that because Jia Zheng somehow provoked Jia Daishan's anger a few days ago, it was Jia's request for amnesty. Now that Jia Lan saw Zhang's expression, she could guess, It's a good thing, Jia Daishan is naturally willing to share with Jia Zheng, but now Mrs Zhang only mentions Jia Hu, which means that it will definitely not work out at this time, and seeing Mrs Zhang's expression of satisfaction, Jia Lan already knows this It must be very lively in the mansion every day.

After chatting with Mrs. Zhang, it was time to enter the palace again. Mrs. Zhang still handed over Jia She to see him off. Anyway, Jia She only had a vain job. Jia She was studying his own antiques in the study. I found something good outside, and because Master Zhang praised Jia Hu, saying that he was more talented than Jia Zheng, he was very proud of it, so he didn't refuse.

"I heard in the palace that the princes are all good at both civil and military." When Jia Lan was sitting in the car chatting with Jia She outside the car, he asked with a smile: "Last time, Hu'er said that big brother's riding skills are the best. , is the best he has ever seen, big brother wants to enlighten Hu'er himself?"

Jia She was riding on the horse, and said a little embarrassedly: "I have the best riding skills there, this kid..."

"Hu'er told me that my elder brother is good at riding, and that my elder brother is the most powerful. She also said that the stories that my elder brother told him are the most pleasant, and that my elder brother can buy 100 taels of things for 2000 taels of silver. I I also think that the eldest brother is the best. There is no shortage of gold and jade in a family like ours. The eldest brother himself has a title, and he has been praised by Zhang Taifu and Yin Taifu. Have such a good life. Brother, you don’t have to be modest, you are the best big brother anyway. Even my grandmother told me before, she said that the happiest thing in her life is to have a grandson like a big brother.” Jia Lan Leaning on Hui'er's shoulder with a smile, she said mischievously.

Jia Amnesty was a little flattered by the praise, but at the same time he was a little embarrassed. He was self-aware. Although Jia Zheng had always been compared to him and seemed extremely incompetent, after Zhang Taifu's relief, he also felt that he didn't need to be competitive, just for the sake of his descendants. That's the best way to live a happy life, and Hu'er will have a great future in the future.So she became more and more intimate with Jia Lan, and even revealed to Jia Lan that Mrs. Zhang asked Mrs. Zhang to arrange an old nanny for her, so that she should not worry too much in the palace.

After Jia Lan went through the previous incident, she was really grateful to Mrs. Zhang when she heard about it.I am also very satisfied with Jia She's current situation. He can personally send himself into the palace, and he can give himself money again and again. This is very similar to the image of the ignorant and stupid old pervert in the book who bought his daughter for 5000 taels of silver. different.Jia Lan has always felt that although the tragedy of Jia She's life has something to do with Jia Shishi's eccentricity, it is not entirely responsible. His grandmother's doting, his own inaction, and the contempt and contempt of those around him are the reasons for his depravity. fundamental.If Jia Amnesty can continue like this, Jia Lan thinks it would be a good thing to have such an older brother.She was born in the Jia family, so naturally it is impossible to completely leave the Jia family.Once Jia She can stand up, she is still very sure of changing her life.

"Rouge's illness was removed, and a nanny was arranged in the palace to take care of her." When Nishang saw Jia Lan coming back, her attitude was very respectful. Although she didn't know how the previous matter was resolved, Miss Jia was obviously better than she imagined. It was even more powerful. I had seen it with my own eyes, but it turned out to be like this in the end. I was even dragged away by the guards and asked to stop talking, so Nishang felt even more in awe of Jia Lan.

Jia Lan met Shen Nai who arranged for her. Shen Nai was a woman in her 40s, wearing a dark purple palace dress, and although she had a neat bun on her head, she was not as serious as she imagined. There was a faint smile on a somewhat round face, and Jia Lan's first impression was not bad.There is always some reason to reach out and not hit the smiling face.

Nanny Shen had a good first impression of Jia Lan. Jia Lan was really good-looking, and her slightly round figure seemed very pleasing.Moreover, although Jia Lan was surprised by Nanny Shen's sudden arrival, she quickly controlled her expression. She was very patient with the nanny who was arranged for her, and she was not too impatient. Mammy is very satisfied with this. Although she is a concubine, she obviously learned the rules well and has a good bearing.

"I used to serve the old concubine in the palace. One of my sisters was helped by Mrs. Zhang." Nanny Shen said directly without waiting for Jia Lan to ask.

Upon hearing that it was related to the Zhang family, Jia Lan was overjoyed. She did not expect the Zhang family to be so capable. When she heard what Jia She said before, she thought it would take a while for the mother to make arrangements, but she did not expect it to be arranged so quickly. .

"Mommy understands my affairs when she thinks about it. I don't want to be famous in this palace, but I just ask mommy to give me some advice so that I don't have to make taboos during this time in the palace." Although it was arranged by the Zhang family People, Jia Lan still expressed his request, after all, he was not familiar with it, so he would avoid conflicts at first.

Shen Momo couldn't help but nodded when she heard the words, she thought that she was a sensible child.There is also a palace lady Cuiyu who replaces Rouge with Shen Momo, she looks very ordinary, it is said that she was just a maid sweeping the floor before.

As expected of an old man in the palace, Shen Momo did nothing wrong with her conduct, which made Jia Lanjing not feel uncomfortable at all, and taught Jia Lan a lot of tips in the palace, all of which were extremely useful, and even Jia Lan is extremely proficient in skin care and beauty, so she decided to wait back and ask Mrs. Zhang to help her find out the details of Nanny Shen.Originally, he wanted to see if he could find a way to subdue her after the investigation was clear.

"Miss Jia San has a strange fragrance on her body, but it is very faint, like plum fragrance, and she can't smell it unless she is close to her body. The servant girl asked, and from what the girl named Huier said, I heard that Miss Jia was the same since she was a child, but because I like to drink tea made with water from floral dew." Mother Shen said to Jun Zezhu respectfully.
